| | | Society and Culture Most Vincentians are the descendants of African slaves brought to the island to work on plantations. There also are a few white descendants of English colonists and Portuguese migrants, as well as some East Indians, Carib Indians, and a sizable minority of mixed race. The country's official language is English. French Creole used to be more widely spoken, but now it has been declining to almost nothing on the island.  | |
